As I mentioned in my last post, I really get off on all of the character assassination flying around this time of the election year. Two of my favorites, one about each are as follows.

People on the left are slinging some mud at John McCain’s values, as they have for years, because of his marital history. They’re saying his aren’t the same as ours. I don’t get this one. The guy traded one wife for another that was younger, richer, and far better looking. I don’t know what country the critics are from, but here in the good old U.S.A we call that the American Dream. If you haven’t ditched your wife for a 20 year old millionaire blonde bombshell, it’s only because you haven’t had the opportunity.

McCain’s camp, in an effort to unbury themselves from his revelation that he doesn’t know how many homes he has, is hurling some real-estate related trash over the fence. “”Does a guy who made more than $4 million last year, just got back from vacation on a private beach in Hawaii and bought his own million-dollar mansion with the help of a convicted felon really want to get into a debate about houses?”

Wait, so what did Obama do wrong here? I’ve watched enough HGTV to know that when it comes to buying a house, it’s all about saving as much dough as you can. I don’t care if Barack let Michael Vick run dog fights there, if it got the seller to pay his closing costs, I say more power to him. If you weren’t allowed to buy things that were connected to a convicted felon, Escalade sales would drop 90%. Thankfully you are, so you can pick one up for $15,000, already bulletproofed, at your local police auction.

While I’m here, I just want to thank everyone who participated in my poll. 66 people voted, and only 3 said they didn’t know how many homes they own. I suspect at least 2 of them were joking, but even if you take that at face value, 95.45% of American’s don’t seem to have John McCain’s problems.

In honor, I decided to make what I promise you is both my first and last lolcat ever:
